Trauma
Not all wounds heal with time, and some wounds can leave triggers that become hardcoded in the brain, body, and nervous system. These triggers, or residue of past trauma, can manifest as extreme emotions, reactions, distorted thinking, or irrational body sensations. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, Russ can help you make sense of your life and experiences and find a way through your challenges.
